Ep. 95 - Green BPM: Katharina Paulick

What's Your Baseline? Enterprise Architecture & Business Process Management Demystified

Having lived in two cultures, it is so interesting to see how people cope with big problems. Climate change and sustainability are some of the biggest issues that we have to deal with in our lifetimes, and I see reactions from denial to aimless “do-gooder” activity.

But how do you improve this situation and solve the problem to get to more sustainable business practices? Well, process management (and especially the flavor of “Green BPM”) to the rescue.

This week we are speaking with Katharina Paulick, who is a creative, engaged, and dynamic professional in life sciences, lab automation, and machine learning. She works in a Green BPM consulting firm and is the right expert for our topic.

Katharina’s objective is to help create a sustainable Industry 4.0, and she stumbled (and then dove deep into) process management a few years ago.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about:

• Katharina’s background
• The topic of “Green BPM” and why it is important from economical, ecological, etc., up to regulatory requirements
• The dimensions of Green BPM from economical, ecological, etc., up to regulatory requirements
• The limitations of regulatory approvals of processes and how they can limit process execution
• Why is there resistance against green practices?
• Katharina’s approach to process analysis and figuring out the needed changes
• The challenge (and benefits) of working as an external person without the detailed background of the process
• What are the recommendations when you want to implement your sustainable BPM program?
